The Fear Lyrics

Ben Howard - The Fear
Lyrics and Chord Below
Riff 1 Played through the Verses -
i.e. 3rd Fret on the E
And the A signifies using the open A string for the first part of the riff.
Its pretty quick and he mixes up the ending, the 0h2 is an educates guess but play
around with it. Fingerpicking
fun!
Riff 2 Played in the bridge "I will become what I deserve"
RIFF 1
VERSE 1 RIFF 1 ( A = Open A --- G = 3rd fret)
Mama, cold hearted child, tell me how you feel
Just a blade in the grass, spoke unto the wheel
Mama, cold hearted child, tell me where it's all gone
The luster of your bones, those arms that held you strong
I been worryin', I been worryin' that my time is a little unclear
I been worryin', I been worryin' that I'm losing the one's I hold dear
Em (pick) D RIFF 2
I been worryin', I been worryin' that we all live our lives in the confines of fear
VERSE 2 RIFF 1
My my, cold hearted child, tell me how you feel
Just a grain in the morning air, dark shadow on the hill
My my, cold hearted child, tell me where it all fall's
Oh this apathy you feel will make a fool of us all
I been worryin', I been worryin' that my time is a little unclear
I been worryin', I been worryin' that I'm losing the one's I hold dear
Em (pick) D RIFF 2
I been worryin', I been worryin' that we all live our lives in the confines of fear
BRIDGE RIFF 2 THROUGHOUT
Oh I will become what I deserve x 4
I been worryin', I been worryin',
I will become what I deserve
I been worryin' that my time is a little unclear
I will become what I deserve
C9 (STRUM ONCE) Em D C9
I been worryin', I been worryin' that my time is a little unclear
I been worryin', I been worryin' that I'm losing the one's I hold dear
Em (pick) D
I been worryin', I been worryin' that we all live our lives in the confines of fear -- RIFF 2
END.
Cheers and enjoy!
